Authentic rare fossilized Weltonia ancistrodon Cow Shark tooth, 1.2 cm length, 50 million years old, Eocene, Morocco

Authentic rare fossilized Weltonia ancistrodon cow shark tooth specimen from Morocco, approximately 50 million years old, in a plastic box. An excellent gift for a collector or anyone interested in sharks or palaeontology!

Sharks have a vast number of teeth arranged in multiple rows, which are replaced frequently throughout their lives (even weekly). This, combined with the durability of enamel and the extensive period they have existed, makes fossilized shark teeth commonly found across various parts of the globe.

Due to the age of the specimen, the fragmentary nature of the fossil deposits in Morocco, and local extraction methods, the tooth may exhibit imperfections and repaired areas (glued sections) that are completely normal and unavoidable, but it is overall in good condition, with the enamel layer nearly intact. We invite you to carefully review the product photos to identify any natural imperfections or potential repairs on the specimen.
